Robert's Ramblings

I discovered this dude skulking in an impossible-to-get-to place just off Philip Street in the Adelaide CBD.

I'm not sure who the artist is so I am not sure who to give credit to for this odd stylized figure looking back over his shoulder keeping a watchful eye out just in case he is seen.

The location too is just as intriguing tucked away not just in a back alley but on a high wall with rooftop access only.

Now all he needs to do is look up!

I'm sure I have seen this artist's work before so I'm on the lookout now. All hints appreciated.

As far as architecture goes, straight line geometry seems to come and go with the fashion.

For me though a new building of replicating geometry will always draw my eye and my attention.

The zig zag concrete ribs on the new University of South Austraila's, 'Jeffrey Smart' building reminded me of the zig zig tracks on a printed circuit board.

How fitting a reminder of my early studies at this very same institution well before it earned the status of 'University'.
